Can someone explain this to me

[joedoh]

I know a power ebay seller so I asked him. He said that it was easier with drop ship items that go in and out of stock to just raise the price to unobtanium when out of stock then drop it when back in stock, than it was to cancel and relist auctions. This way he keeps the auction open and doesnt pay listing fees every time an item goes out of stock then comes back.

I have no stake in that explanation, its what I was told, so throw darts.
